About: Grid computing is applying the resources of many computers in a network to a single problem at the same timeGrid computing appears to be a promising trend for three reasons:(1) Its ability to make more cost-effective use of a given amount of computer resources,(2) As a way to solve problems that can't be approached without an enormous amount of computing power(3) Because it suggests that the resources of many computers can be cooperatively and perhaps synergistically harnessed and managed as a collaboration toward a common objective.
